Ok, I don't think I've ever told anybody this before. It's my WORST embarrassing moment. I'm not sure why I'm sharing this cuz telling it might rank up there with the top 5 embarrassing moments...BUT, I think it is most hilarious on this side of things so I'll spill the beans. ;)
So, I must give you some background infromation first. Mom went to the beach with her good friend from CoosBay several years ago. I must have been in the 7th or 8th grade. I'm not sure exactly. Anyway, mom and this friend went out to eat on their way home from the beach at a restaurant next to Camp 18 (which i'm sure you've all been to...the water they serve is GROSS, isn't it?? lol). Mom ordered a hamburger I think, with extra thousand island dressing...which turned out to be way too old and rotten. Sickness followed. However, none of us knew it was food poisoning because food poisoning can hit 24 hours after the bad food is eaten. Nobody connected it in their minds. WELL, maybe somebody did, but didn't feel the need to share it with me. :P Anyway, I do believe AnnaChristie and Holly and I were at youth group while mom was home being sick. Dad had told us before that if it got any worse we would have to take her to the hospital. Half way through youth group, Dad shows up. SO, I immediately assume that mom is worse and therefore we are taking her to the hospital. Mistake #1. Mistake #2: I told my friend that we were rushing to the hospital. Mistake #3: My friend told the youth group. Mistake #4: The news traveled ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE PRAYER CHAIN. Of course, I didn't know half of that until later. So, we're rushing home, and I'm practically praying that mom will have to go to the hospital. :P However, Dad didn't think it was nessecary. Later that night the pastor's wife calls, and said to Dad, "I called every hospital in the area and couldn't find her." Dad said "she just has a stomach ache". LOL. food poisoning, if you know, does NOT AT ALL come close to "just a stomach ache". It added to my embarrassment of course...the whole prayer chain alerted!!!! dear me. Well, you wouldn't believe all the weird looks we got that Sunday. Or how many people came up to me saying "Your the one with the mom in the hospital?" :P
ok. that was...embarrassing. hope you all enjoyed laughing at my expense. ;)
until I post again...
